In Washington, District of Columbia, and elsewhere throughout the U.S., debt is a major concern. Many Americans owes debt from credit cards, student loans, mortgages and personal loans. Debtors do everything they can to pay these debts to avoid huge interest rates and creditor harassment. However, the ability of a person to pay debts can be affected by unexpected life challenges, including divorce, the death of a family member or a serious medical condition. When debtors fall behind on payments, they may find it difficult to get back on their feet without seeking debt relief.

Debt moves the economy and almost all people in the Washington D.C. area and throughout the United States rely on some form of debt to start a new business, obtain higher education or purchase a house. When debtors fail to settle these debts, creditors will use all means possible to make them pay. This can result in foreclosure if a house has been used as collateral or a poor credit rating due to failure to settle debt.

Most residents in the District of Columbia and surrounding areas are familiar with the concept of bankruptcy. Some may even be concerned about how much unsecured debt they are carrying through personal loans, medical bills and credit cards. Debt often accumulates during tough economic times, but it should be paid off as quickly as possible to avoid becoming unmanageable and damaging a person's credit rating. In the worse cases, debt can lead to foreclosures on property and bring creditor harassment. Fortunately, the federal legal code allows honest debtors to settle their debts and obtain a fresh start through the process of bankruptcy.
